We need flash to face the likes of effort/larva/stork/jaedong, not zvp snipers... I'm getting pessimistic again but the exact same thing happened last season and I called it at the beginning that it would be hero vs flash in the finals after the group selection... :/ Someone please change my mind ![]() herO is probably the best ZvT player right now and the only one with a good chance of bringing Flash down. This is mainly due to herO being the best at facing the 1-1-1 build. JaeDong, Larva and Effort have been performing badly against it. As a reference, from the Flash interview article we can see the different zerg players winning percentage against Flash, when Flash mostly used his 1-1-1 build. herO 31%, 21-46 SoulKey 27%, 12-31 Larva 20%, 29-99 JaeDong 10%, 3-27 Effort 10%, 5-46 The maps and the live pressure can of course change the odds somewhat, but stating that herO can barely zvt is wrong. Flash has been practicing a lot with herO due to his skill vs the 1-1-1 build. And is it just me or Stork is in beast form? Every time I tune in to his channel I see him beating a high-end player. I only saw him losing to Effort. Yes it seems as if Stork is in beast form. Partly due to that enough time has passed since he came back and partly, in my opinion, because Stork's calm and calculated style profits from maps where you have to think outside the box. He was never the fastest player but he plays intelligently, specially in PvT and PvP. I'd say Flash's biggest threats this season is Stork, Rain and Mini. At least if the maps consists of sparkle, transistor and third world. Stork beat flash over and over on transistor and third world a few days ago. I still hope Flash will solve those maps though. I also thought of this as an explanation. He's just too experienced and too smart not to profit from such maps. He's not a commander of no weak points for nothing after all. It's a tough group though. Last season he lost his Ro16 PvP - against Rain. | ||

I think this ceremony is sometimes more fun than watching the players play actual games. Who do you guys think will steal the show and be the nost entertaining? For anyone that doesn't know why it is worth it to watch the ASL5 Group Selection Ceremony, it is kind of like half the Hunger Games and half the Olympics opening ceremony. The players are introduced and the players pick their opponents. So you get to see the brackets while the players choose them live. There is also a lot of drama as sometimes the players that don't like each other talk smack. It is really good to watch this event if you are new to watching professional tournaments like I am. Enjoy. Please update OP with the groups | ||

No, I assume he did that because him and Rain are friends and he didn't want to take Rain's first choice away from him. What is interesting is that Stork took Shine because he knew FlaSh would swap out Snow. Stork knew that FlaSh would not take way Action from Rain so he picked Shine. Really Stork is the genius in all of this, he got a good group for himself. | ||

Rain just wrecked Soulkey couple weeks ago Well I haven't been watching that much Starcraft since Movie stopped streaming. I was thinking of Action during the KeSPa days. Mini is definitely going to be tough, he beat Soulkey and Action, and he has strong PvP. | ||

I think Shuttle stole the show in the Group Selection Ceremony. I loved his antics. Gotta respect his honesty in acting terrified of his group. | ||

Why would he swap a Zerg to create an all Protoss group? He knows he can stomp both Action and Shine, so he might as not create an all P group and give Action a good chance of making it out of the group stages to give Flash a possibly easy BO5 or at least trip P's up down the line. But swapping Shine means that all of the Protoss still have a good zvper in their groups, possibly limiting P's but still giving an easy group stage. There's a chance Hero, Action, Larva, and Jaedong make it out of their groups, all of which are ~<30% against Flash, leaving just two Protoss who would have to confront excellent zvpers. That's Flash's dream. | ||
